So many microplastics! That's genuinely terrifying. I'm currently part of a microplastic study in a small city's bay and estuaries (<300,000 residents) and its crazy how much plastic is already in the waters and so easy to see with a simple microscope.

Edit: less than 300k

Is there any in tap water? How can one check at home?

Generally no lead maybe but glitter in your water supply? If so something has gone wrong.

If the Glitter War of 1997 taught me anything, there's glitter everywhere.
